Event: The Roots of Ambient

Teshi's Fine Hour

Ambient music is a music of our times, offering temporary escapes from all the turmoil. On Sunday April 12 I am going to have a look at the family tree of Ambient music at Teshi’s Fine Hour, a listening session dedicated to hyper-specific genres of music. Each episode features a guest who highlights a moment in popular music history – including in-depth listening to full-length music examples from vinyl records on a high-end sound system.

From Erik Satie’s furniture music to Indonesian Gamelan, from atmospheric deep cuts by the electric Miles Davis to 1980s New Age, we examine how Ambient music evolved across different genres and decades, and how it resonates with listeners today.
